Negreanu is completely out of line. Hellmuth is clearly the absolute greatest of all time at being a whinging, moaning, fragile ego, crying man-child when he loses. No contest.
I love how Phil has stopped playing to think through his arguments while Daniel is still playing every hand while easily and accurately backing up his arguments with ease.
If Phil was truly confident deep down he was the best, he wouldn’t be bothered by what anyone else says. He obviously doesn’t and needs that affirmation from people he respects.
Exactly that’s what makes Ivey the goat because he never claimed to be the best even tho he is probably the most feared poker player to find at your table aka the GOAT
Phil doesn't know how to handle an opponent who doesn't think like him. He not only expects people to play a certain way, but he feels entitled to it. If you don't do what he thinks you should have done, it offends him 😂. He gets mad that you didn't let him outplay you.
Maria and Nick have an actual banger of a hand going, with Nick picking up the straight on the turn then the queen of spades on the river just upending everything for him reopening spades or A/K. And Phil won't shut up, classic Phil "Lesser players don't deserve table ettiquitte" Hellmuth.
He got it into his head that she had either A K or two spades to finish the flush. He was pretty passive that whole hand. He should have fired off another bet on the flop, just to see where Maria was at. Wright had no info. That was kind of the story of the hand. She raised pre-flop, Nick called, Nick checked the flop, she followed (no info), Nick makes a small bet on the turn, she follows with no hesitation (again, very little info or the possibility she is chasing a flush or straight), the queen comes out so Nick can now be beaten by an opponent with A K and it's a spade so if she was chasing a spade flush she just got it. Nick checks, Maria makes a bet nearly the size of the pot and Nick imagines the worst has happened. But personally if that was me, there's no way I'm folding. I'm already invested, I've got the straight, I at least need to learn if my instincts were right or not.
@@theperfectdoug yeah defnetly not worth to look closer, there also can be a bug from the hole cards. No discussion of call or not call, absolutley true. So when it was really his hand, than it looks like a bankrollmanagmentproblem and he played maybe to high, only thing what we can learn of this hand when it was his. technically defnetly call
Doug did a video where he ran the EV of poker players buy ins vs winnings and it wasn't even close. To say it wasn't close is even an understatement. On a graph, Phil was literally off the chart, while the other great players were still in the bottom third. Then, Phil told him he looked through the stats, doug left a few tournaments out that he won.
I will never tire of watching this clip. Negreanu's comic timing, along with Hellmuth's facial expressions, makes this probably the best poker moment of all time. Definitely the funniest. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny, I hate how people who recognize the term's overuse just have to point it out. I was just like you until I realized that even not gas lighting or not using it in a sentence is a form of gas lighting so it's better to just not call out it's use or non use...
Phil has got away with berating players for too long and players need to start calling him out more cause it’s bs and it’s no longer needed to pump up poker.
You think danny boy put him in his place? Danny boy talks shit but he does not ever win. Phil is a way better player than danny. Results matter in poker.
@@albertforletta1498 yep i wont argue that at all. If you beat me youu are a lucky idiot that doesnt haveva clue about poker. Im juat waiting for you to give me all your money.😁😁🖕🖕🖕
Bryn Kenney has 65 million in earnings. Although he is in the age of the poker boom in potential earnings, he has won the most money. Nobody considers him the GOAT. That said, all around ability to win different types of games, it is Ivey. Bracelets obviously for Phil. 17 is a lot for only excelling in one game truly.
Not really. helmuth is a multi millionaire and al bundy worked at a womens shoe store. Al only had one accomplishment. A single football game. Phil has won almost 20 bracelets. People hate to give Phil his props even though he deserves them. Weird that a loud mouth that lies gets so much hate in almost every aspect of sports, art and entertainment but politics it is funny.
I worked in a casino a bit off the beaten path, and Hellmuth showed up unannounced to play in our poker room one very busy night. He checked in his luggage and just walked back to it without asking for management or any other special treatment. He didn't cause one issue during the hours he played, tipped everyone he with which he interacted high, cashed out, grabbed his luggage, and then left.
Daniel is right. I'm just a random guy on the internet,but I've watched a lot of poker over the years. I've never seen hellmuth do the things that guys like Phil ivey and Daniel negreanu do at the table. Phil is a great player. But the game has evolved and Phil hasn't been able to keep up like the other guys.
@jasonlinton9902 there's definitely an argument to be made for that. If you are basing it off of bracelets won then j would have to look at how many tournaments he had played in to win his 17 vs someone like Phil ivey that has 11. Could be a situation lf quantity over quality. But regardless, Phil H is an incredible tournament player.
ESFERIANDI IS A MAD SCIENTIST, PHIL HELLMUTH IS KING OF VALCANOS, IVY IS THE ONE WHO IS KING OF ART AND NEGREANU IS THE MIND READER. THEY ALL GOT ROLLS THEY PLAY!
I think Daniels obviously right. I also think Tony G has summed it up well. Tony G plays people and poker so he knows damn well whats hes talking about especially with his long history with Phil. I think without question hes good. He refuses to learn and play into others properly. Thats not a bad thing but its not good either. And being neutral in poker is technically a bad thing all in all but refusing to play into people isnt always bad if the game plan works, its just his game plan doesnt target the greats. Ivey is without a doubt the best because he never stops improving, experimenting, studying, trying, and most importantly enjoying. Mathmatically, socially, psychologically, everything. As long as Ivey can have fun i don't think he will get worse either wildly enough so i dont think phil will ever be "better" (or just better imo).
Phil's cautious game style will generally get you deep into tournaments, and 17 WSOP bracelets is no fluke. Cash games on the other hand, are all about playing/gambling with shitty cards and sucking out for big pots. Hellmuth is abrasive and arrogant but his WSOP results are unmatched and his solid poker approach has made him wealthy. The aggressive types ala Tom Dwan , Matasow etc. wind up broke and begging for backers.
Negreanu is clairvoyant… it is absolutely uncanny how he can deduce the possibilities and 9 times out of 10, he will tell his opponent EXACTLY what he’s got in the hole. He OWNS Hellmouth these days.
That just is not true. 9 out of 10 times. It seems that way when you only watch youtube videos that show him doing it. If that were true he would win far more often.
I dont think Phil Ivy ever considers himself the GOAT, and assuming he doesnt cause if he did for a moment, he knows his game would slip. In fact, I believe Phil Ivy is, in his mind, striving to be the GOAT but never believes he could reach the zenith of the game.
If *Stu Ungar* wasn't a complete coke-head and if he played as much as Phil did...This conversation wouldn't even exist... During the 1990 WSOP Main Event, Ungar was found on the third day of the tournament unconscious on the floor of his hotel room from a drug overdose. *However, he had such a chip lead that* even when the dealers kept taking his blinds out every orbit, *Ungar still made the final table* and finished ninth without playing another hand, pocketing $25,050... *INSANE!!!! Just think about this...* I feel this is like saying *Wayne Gretzky* is the GOAT of hockey.... On paper he is, *BUT* imagine if *Mario Lemieux* didn't get any cancer and/or played in a team as good as the Oilers in the 80s ??? Same thing with *Larry Bird* ... He doesn't have the best NBA statistic, on paper he is not the GOAT, but like the Godfather *Pat Riley* said once: *“If I had to choose a player to take a final shot to win a game, I’d choose Jordan... But if I could pick one to shoot to save my life, I would pick Bird.”* Self proclaiming yourself the GOAT is the equivalent of a waiter asking for tip... You simply just don't do it... lol
Phil was an early founder and did very well. But the game changed around him and he hasn't adapted. Now he checks to the river and gets outdrawn every time.
Phil's ego is huge...lol. I once had a dream that I was playing in a simple cash game with Phil, I got quad Q's and he got quad A's. I started celebrating. He said "My quad Aces beat your quad Queens, dude." I said, "Yes, you won the hand of $2000, but I just won the bad beat jackpot of $125,000" The look on his face was priceless
I've been watching and playing (poorly) poker for about 20 years & Ivey has always been the guy who I'd bet on. All things being equal (if no luck was involved), I think he would win every time. He knows the math as well as most of the "math guys" and his reads might be the best ever. Plus, no one is as intimidating. He's the best. He knows it. We know it. They know it. Hellmuth knows it.
If you have to tell people you're the greatest, then you're needing validation. The greatest is based on his/hers peer group opinion. What Phil fails to realize is that he hurts receiving the validation he desires or deserves by being a "Me, Me, Me" personality.
That is called an argumentum ad populum fallacy. Poker is a bit different and have far smarter people but in other sports the peer groups still vote on popularity more than skill. The top 100 in the NFL is a good example. Anyone that writes an original comment on youtube is also seeking validation and attention. People don't do it in the hopes that nobody reads it and it is ignored. They want to be told how correct they are and get likes.
@@billytringuyen1 That makes zero logic. Using that same logic Tom Brady wasn't as good as the `people that made more than him. Poker is also a game that needs some probability to go in your favor at one time or another especially in a tournament. Winning almost 20 WSOP tournaments means a lot. The argument is not the wins it is the time and opponents. Anyone that discounts Phil is probably a moron. It is a common internet thing to do. Highest earnings is the worst way to attempt to find who is good or not. Someone like Dan Bilzerian has more poker earnings than a lot of pros. Doesn't mean that he is great. Like a pro Boxer that picks his opponents carefully.
I love how Hellmuth complains about unprofessional behaviour of other players while perpetrating the most unprofessional behaviour at the table. Last I checked having a reputation of being a Brat was not a good thing.
Ivy doesn't give a crap, which says most of what needs to be said. It seems like Hellmuth has Sierra figured out how terrible he is to others and had made an effort to be more respectful, but he's not remotely close to consistent about it. I don't find him entertaining - I think poker would be better without him.
I will admit, seeing that balding leprechaun "cha cha real slow" while taunting me in a fucking Mahomes jersey, after winning on the river, I'd be beyond tilted as well.
1. Phil Hellmuth would not be the leader in WSOP bracelets if Ivey played as many events. 2. Outside the WSOP, Phil doesn't have much of a resume. 3. He's the WORST cash game player of all the "top pros." 4. Of the top 10 players between 1970 and 1990, probably only 1 would be able to crack the top 50 today (Stu Ungar). 5. The field sizes are 100 times what they were when Phil won his Main Event. You can "luck" your way through a field size of less than 100.
Do you have down syndrome? Most, if not all, of Ivey's bracelets are small field non-hold'em games. When it comes to limit/no limit hold'em Helmuth is King...there really isn't a debate to be had.
There is a HUGE thing that nobody shoves down PH Mouth. The WSOP field was anywhere from 100-150 players for the entire tournament as opposed to today, Tens of thousands? Correct me if Im wrong
You are conflating the main event to every other tourney. Yes, the main event gets tens of thousands but the others usually do not. Nobody is shoving it down his throat because it is not a good argument. Daniels last wsop bracelet had around the same amount of people less than 200. Back then only the best players showed up to play in these games. Normies didn't know about the WSOP. The poker boom changed everything.
Phil is one of the greats, and is in fact the GOAT when referencing the WSOP! Beyond that he has no clout whatsoever, but isn't that enough Phil? You're also a great poker ambassador bringing in new players. Of course, should you realize you're not the GOAT of all pokerdom, your ambassadorial draw becomes less effective, so keep on keeping on Phil, we love you!👍✌🎄🤶🎅🗽
I would bet on Daniel over Phil after watching them play for years. I think Negreanu has better instincts. Helmuth may have a lot of bracelets but I think he is tone deaf at times when it comes to reading the room.
The reason Hellmuth has so many bracelets is because he played EVERY SINGLE EVENT every year for 20 years. I have seen him lose more than win. If you win 3 times as much as anyone else, but play 10 times more... is that really a testament to your ability, or more to your tenacity. Phil Hellmuth has tried harder than anyone, he stuck to his goal and earned everything he has. I don't want anyone to mistake me and think I am sayin Phil isn't one of the greatest, most well known people to ever play the game. But if you have say, 2 baseball pitchers... one has played 200 games and threw 300 strikes outs. The other has played 10000 games and threw 2000 strikes outs... Who is the better pitcher?
I feel like disciplined Phil is elite, though probably not the GOAT, but tilted Phil is barely a pro. And since he tilts easily and everyone knows it, he gets no respect, because other elite pros know they can just tilt him and win.
So lets make sure people know that Phil Ivey (like Daniel Negreanu) had not won a bracelet at the WSOP in over a decade (Won in '24 hadn't since '14). So Daniel devalues something he didn't win.
Phil probably was one of the best, maybe the best in tournament poker back in the days, but the game evolved and he didn’t. His play is just to basic compèred to the new school guys like Ivey and durrr. Dnegs evolved and learned the new style and is still one of the best
Oh that was just disgusting, Hellmouth saying to Maria after loosing "She's the easiest player on the planet to trap". Keep those thoughts to yourself dude, or say them to the camera during the after game interview shit, like that's just poor table manners.

I find more enjoyment watching Phil Hellmuth have verbal altercations with people than him playing poker tbh.

The real Hellmuth highlight reels are the argument compilations.
Anything where Phil hellmuth gets the business is the nuts. Whether he’s losing an argument or poker hand doesn’t matter to me lol
i gotta admit. i would love to be at the same table as him. but he is quite the douche...

I like how easily he did it with ease so easily.
Simple, when u dont need to lie to get u point across, everything is easy 😉
In dan’s defense, ive seen him play like 8 screens of online poker at a time.
Funnily they are also very good friends off screen, they just avoid poker convo then xd

Exactly that’s what makes Ivey the goat because he never claimed to be the best even tho he is probably the most feared poker player to find at your table aka the GOAT
Ivey is getting pretty arrogant honestly, when hellmuth plays humble he's pretty good.

Are we going to talk about the fold with the straight vs Maria ho ?!
i am also not coming clear about that haha
Nick Wright isn't good enough, both at poker and his sports takes

He could probably throw a football over a mountain!
Phil has got away with berating players for too long and players need to start calling him out more cause it’s bs and it’s no longer needed to pump up poker.

Phil is better than most at tournaments, but apparently cash games require a bit less of a long game mentality that tournaments do.
Phil isnt better than most online pros or guys like Antonius/Ivey etc. Phil is only the best in his head as usual 😅

What Phil fails to realize is that he hurts receiving the validation he desires or deserves by being a "Me, Me, Me" personality.
That is called an argumentum ad populum fallacy. Poker is a bit different and have far smarter people but in other sports the peer groups still vote on popularity more than skill. The top 100 in the NFL is a good example. Anyone that writes an original comment on youtube is also seeking validation and attention. People don't do it in the hopes that nobody reads it and it is ignored. They want to be told how correct they are and get likes.
Daniel gets a straight in the middle of dialogue, keeps going and casually throws chips in the center. 🤣
Glad you're diving into this 80 years later buddy
Glad you're watching and commenting buddy
@@AlexDuvall It would be very considerate to offer him some ice when you make a statement like that.
Can’t wait for the next episode where we cover the day that Al bundy scored 4 touchdowns in one game at Polk high
Winning a bunch of $1,000 bracelets doesn't make him anything. Hell, I have onevof the bracelets he does
But the 10k count, right?
ya bracelets ain;t nothing matter is who got the highest earning lol
@@billytringuyen1No, you can be the best but play lower stacks.
@@billytringuyen1 That makes zero logic. Using that same logic Tom Brady wasn't as good as the `people that made more than him. Poker is also a game that needs some probability to go in your favor at one time or another especially in a tournament. Winning almost 20 WSOP tournaments means a lot. The argument is not the wins it is the time and opponents. Anyone that discounts Phil is probably a moron. It is a common internet thing to do. Highest earnings is the worst way to attempt to find who is good or not. Someone like Dan Bilzerian has more poker earnings than a lot of pros. Doesn't mean that he is great. Like a pro Boxer that picks his opponents carefully.
What’s hilarious to me is that the self proclaimed best poker player ever doesn’t realize these guys are playing him by riling him up 😂
Negranu and phil are the shroud and dr disrespect of poker😂
I love how Hellmuth complains about unprofessional behaviour of other players while perpetrating the most unprofessional behaviour at the table. Last I checked having a reputation of being a Brat was not a good thing.
"You're not better at Phil Ivy"
Who would have ever thought that Nick Wright would be the quiet one at the table? lol
Top players I got 🤔 Ivey, Daniel, Tony G, Andy, Garret, Durr, Mark Newhouse, Kevin Heat then Hellmuth
Thought they were gonna fight for a moment... having Buffer there to announce it and all....
Ivy doesn't give a crap, which says most of what needs to be said. It seems like Hellmuth has Sierra figured out how terrible he is to others and had made an effort to be more respectful, but he's not remotely close to consistent about it. I don't find him entertaining - I think poker would be better without him.
is like MJ and Lebron , most of people say that MJ is the GOAT , Lebron says that he is the GOAT
I will admit, seeing that balding leprechaun "cha cha real slow" while taunting me in a fucking Mahomes jersey, after winning on the river, I'd be beyond tilted as well.
I don’t like how someone reposts this saying it happened one month ago, when it happened a while back. I’m getting tired of social media
1. Phil Hellmuth would not be the leader in WSOP bracelets if Ivey played as many events.
2. Outside the WSOP, Phil doesn't have much of a resume.
3. He's the WORST cash game player of all the "top pros."
4. Of the top 10 players between 1970 and 1990, probably only 1 would be able to crack the top 50 today (Stu Ungar).
5. The field sizes are 100 times what they were when Phil won his Main Event. You can "luck" your way through a field size of less than 100.
Do you have down syndrome?
Most, if not all, of Ivey's bracelets are small field non-hold'em games.
When it comes to limit/no limit hold'em Helmuth is King...there really isn't a debate to be had.
Stu Unger was 3 times the poker player Phil ever could be.
I mean he could be the best SnG HU televised player of all time maybe ? Beating Polk, Dnegs, Durr and Antonio, losing to Jkoon tho
Maria acting like a whole silent assassin.
17 bracelets means something. Don't know what but it does.
After this Phil killed Daniel in a heads up style system dominated him Phil is a strong player just hot blooded
He didnt dominate anything. It was a hyper turbo.
@ three times in a row isn’t variance
Yeah Daniel got schooled. Phil got his revenge.
There is a HUGE thing that nobody shoves down PH Mouth. The WSOP field was anywhere from 100-150 players for the entire tournament as opposed to today, Tens of thousands? Correct me if Im wrong
You are conflating the main event to every other tourney. Yes, the main event gets tens of thousands but the others usually do not. Nobody is shoving it down his throat because it is not a good argument. Daniels last wsop bracelet had around the same amount of people less than 200. Back then only the best players showed up to play in these games. Normies didn't know about the WSOP. The poker boom changed everything.
The GOAT in any competitive endeavor never proclaim themself as the GOAT.
What happened to Maria Ho’s face
I mean, I’d think it would be easier to win a tournament with 50-200 entries over one with thousands of entries tbh.
Poor Maria. I could feel her dying inside listening to Phil.
"There is no mathematical reason why he usually beats me."
Sure there is. He's a better player than you.
Phil is one of the greats, and is in fact the GOAT when referencing the WSOP! Beyond that he has no clout whatsoever, but isn't that enough Phil? You're also a great poker ambassador bringing in new players. Of course, should you realize you're not the GOAT of all pokerdom, your ambassadorial draw becomes less effective, so keep on keeping on Phil, we love you!👍✌🎄🤶🎅🗽
I wouldn't want to compare Jake Paul and Hellmuth, because Phil actually has an impressive resume, but can't help but think that they're similar.
"Imposter" music, had me cracking up
I would bet on Daniel over Phil after watching them play for years. I think Negreanu has better instincts. Helmuth may have a lot of bracelets but I think he is tone deaf at times when it comes to reading the room.
Phil beat Daniel heads up in 3 straight games.
It is genius branding by Phil to be a whiner and complainer. He is playing chess while his haters are playing checkers.
No he’s playing the water pool Dunk guy while everyone else is throwing the ball to knock him into the water
The reason Hellmuth has so many bracelets is because he played EVERY SINGLE EVENT every year for 20 years.
I have seen him lose more than win.
If you win 3 times as much as anyone else, but play 10 times more... is that really a testament to your ability, or more to your tenacity.
Phil Hellmuth has tried harder than anyone, he stuck to his goal and earned everything he has. I don't want anyone to mistake me and think I am sayin Phil isn't one of the greatest, most well known people to ever play the game.
But if you have say, 2 baseball pitchers... one has played 200 games and threw 300 strikes outs.
The other has played 10000 games and threw 2000 strikes outs...
Who is the better pitcher?
Hellmuth cried the same BS 25 years ago when a buddy of mine beat him with a full house he had on the flop. "Milked poor little goat phil"
Hellmuth is just winning a psychological war against everyone right now, truly Goat status
I feel like disciplined Phil is elite, though probably not the GOAT, but tilted Phil is barely a pro. And since he tilts easily and everyone knows it, he gets no respect, because other elite pros know they can just tilt him and win.
The fact that Nick Wright folded that hand is insanely stupid 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After years of watching him, I didn't expect better lol
So lets make sure people know that Phil Ivey (like Daniel Negreanu) had not won a bracelet at the WSOP in over a decade (Won in '24 hadn't since '14). So Daniel devalues something he didn't win.
Phil probably was one of the best, maybe the best in tournament poker back in the days, but the game evolved and he didn’t.
His play is just to basic compèred to the new school guys like Ivey and durrr. Dnegs evolved and learned the new style and is still one of the best
Hellmuth sure has thin skin for a GOAT. He's famous for TILTing.
Oh that was just disgusting, Hellmouth saying to Maria after loosing "She's the easiest player on the planet to trap". Keep those thoughts to yourself dude, or say them to the camera during the after game interview shit, like that's just poor table manners.
didn't know what music to put under it?
i was hopin that Buffer would jump up from his chair and start yelling:
.....and in the blue corner etc LoL
He is the goat, he won the most big things in form of bracelet, won WSOP in both us and eu. Goat simple is that.
Phil Ivey is the GOAT of Hold’em and every legend of the game can agree on it as well
